It's striking in the way it rises high above the surrounding range and always remains snow-capped, thus its name in Tibetan "Gang Rimpoche", which means "Jewel of Snow". Traditional Buddhist cosmology has often connected Kailash with Mount Meru, the great mythological mountain that forms the axis of this world system.The power of this strange, immemorial. Because of its religious associations, many Hindu and Buddhist ascetics, hermits and pilgrims have been drawn to the area of the mountain for the past two thousand years or so to see it, circumambulate it and to practice austerities and meditation.
South of Mount Kailash, across the great plain of Barge at the base of the majestic Mount Gurla Mandhata, are the two lakes Mansarovar and Rakshas Tal. They are the highest bodies of fresh water in the world, with Mansarovar (330 sq. km.), at 4558 meters, about fifteen meters higher than Rakshas Tal. Mansarovar is the larger of two lakes and considered by Buddhist and Hindus to be more worthy of veneration. Buddhists believe that Queen Maya, the Buddha's mother, was carried here by the gods and washed prior to give birth to the Lord Buddha.
